Week fifteen, and I’d been looking forward to this particular new experience ever since booking my spot a couple of months ago. Today I was going to learn about the Japanese tea ceremony, via a one day course held by UBC. As part of the course, students would get to participate in a tea ceremony […]

Well after a couple of months hiatus, I’m back! I’m pleased to report that I’ve been successful in doing a new thing every week, but not so pleased to admit that I’ve been very slack about writing up experiences. Therefore I’ll be picking up where I left off, that is to say, week 14. This […]

This week, I decided to try my hand at geocaching, an activity that I was first introduced to by my in-laws, who are keen proponents of the sport. The aim of geocaching is to find caches, which are hidden in locations all over the world, and at least one in space. Caches are typically waterproof […]

On to my third and final Belize entry. It was our last Thursday in San Pedro, and my husband and I decided we wanted a night on the town, and perhaps a little flutter. Where better than at Wahoo Lounge’s ‘World Famous Chicken Drop’? “But JC, what is a chicken drop?” I hear you ask. […]

This week, I’ll be writing about another new experience that I had in Belize, a visit to some Mayan ruins. We knew even before setting foot on our first plane to Belize that we wanted to visit a Mayan temple whilst we were there, and, based on recommendations from other guests in the hotel, decided […]

Hello, dear readers. Firstly I must apologise for being a bit behind on my posts. I’ve been away, on our belated honeymoon, soaking up the sun in beautiful Belize. It’s an amazing country, and suffice to say I had many new experiences whilst I was there. We stayed on Ambergris Caye, an island in northern […]

This week I decided to go ice skating at Robson Square in the heart of Downtown Vancouver after work. Like so many Vancouver attractions, skating at Robson Square was one of those things I’d kept meaning to do every winter, but never quite got round to. Now, spurred on by the afternoon’s nail-biting gold medal […]

This week my husband and I were invited a board game night, where we played Quelf for the first time. Quelf is a party game for 3-8 players, aged 12 and over. According to the official Quelf website; there is only one rule… obey the card. Basically players roll the dice, land on a coloured […]

Thanks to Family Day, we currently have a long weekend in British Columbia, which coincided with my husband’s parents visiting. As my father-in-law has an interest in military and maritime history, for my new thing this week we visited the Vancouver Maritime Museum. The museum is only a stone’s throw away from our apartment, but, […]
